Rice Bran
Rice Bran is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 15 g serving has about 15 mg of purines, about 4% of a ~400 mg working daily target. It is relatively high in purines per 100 g, but plant purines are only weakly linked to flares, so it stays a safe choice.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
Rice bran is the purine-rich outer layer of the grain and is much higher than white or brown rice (both low-purine). It is typically used in small amounts as a supplement or baking ingredient, not eaten in quantity, so a normal use delivers far less than this per-100g figure.
How much can I eat?
Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 15 mg here counts as roughly 5 mg toward your gout risk.
Rice Bran is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A: per 100 g and processing
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Moderate for gout (50–150 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.
These are plant purines. Research links purines from vegetables, legumes, and mushrooms far more weakly to gout flares than purines from meat and seafood, so the per-100g figure overstates the real risk here.
Diet is part of the picture, not all of it
For most people the body makes the majority of its own uric acid. Food contributes the smaller share. Eating well lowers your risk and helps you feel in control, but for many people diet alone does not bring uric acid down enough to stop flares. Medication often does the heavy lifting. Use these grades to make easier daily choices, and work with your doctor on the full plan.
